Salt is not evaporated with water and remain as a residue.

When sunlight evaporates salt water does the salt stay behind?
Yes, salt remain as a solid residue.
How can you purify dirty water by just only the sun?
When water evaporates, it only evaporates as pure water. Any other substances such as salt or dirt, will stay in the original conatiner seperated from the water.
How much salt can you remove by evaporation?
Evaporating the water will not remove any of the salt. Only the water molecules will evaporate. The salt will stay in the container.
Why does the ocean stay salty if fresh water is continuously being added?
Because water evaporates leaving the salt behind and re balancing the ratio between salt and water.
Is water more likely to evaporate with salt or with chemicals?
Water is water. It will evaporate no matter what is it. The real question is whether or not the chemicals or salt will evaporate with the water or not. The answer to that is no. The salt/chemicals will stay in the container.
How can you check if salt has dissolved?
If it is like salt and water you can just boil the water so water evaporates and salt stays at the edge :) or you can use simple destillation if you want the water to stay alone and salt to stay alone :) But the best thing you can do is to drink a little bit of it and see how it tastes :)
How does salt get out of the ocean?
Saltwater will stay salty as long as there are dissolved salts within the water. Once these salts precipitate to form salt crystals the water will no longer be salty. However, the temperature and amount of salt in the water will control the rate of salt precipitation and therefore, the length of time the water stays salty.
How is the sun used to disinfect water?
When the sun heats up water, the water evaporates. Since water is still light, the heavier, more solid materials stay in container that you are heating up. Therefore, if you put plastic above the container, it a) causes water to evaporate and purify itself faster, and b) collects the evaporating water.
What water evaporates quicker water or salt water?
Pure water evaporates faster. This is because the presence of impurities (salt) in the water causes the boiling point of the water to increase. The greater the difference between the boiling point of a substance and room temperature, the longer it takes for that substance to evaporate. So, pure water takes less time to evaporate. Of course, other conditions such as temperature, surface area to atmosphere, relative humidity and atmospheric pressure should be constant for both so as to investigate only the effect of salt on the evaporation of water.
How is salt made by evaporation?
Salt is not "made". Seawater is a solution of mainly water and salt. When exposed to sunlight, the seawater, because it's a liquid, evaporates and flyes away. However, salt, being a solid (even when dissolved), will not as easely fly away, and stay behind. It can then be collected and used.
How does salt become crystal?
A salt crystal (sodium chloride) is formed by the slow evaporation of water from a solution of salt. Salt isn't very soluble and so many small crystals form. The ions which make up salt arrange themselves in a perfect cube shape when there's not enough water for them to stay apart in solution.
When water evaporates why does the mass stay the same?
The law of mass conservation is generally valid.
